Could Apple be preparing to do something as crazy as dumping the familiar 30-pin Dock connector? One source thinks so, yet also suggests the styling of the next iPhone will be generally similar to the iPhone 4 and 4S.

If there's a new or rehashed iPhone rumour, it must surely be a day of the week ending in Y, with the latest suggesting a 4-inch screen will finally arrive, a new design will also come (but no teardrop shape), and perhaps a restoration of the iPhone launch to the US summer timeframe.

An online article attempts to explain why the iPad 3 will get LTE before the iPhone, but the answer as to why this should be so seems very clear - at least to me.

Unless Apple pops a Thunderbolt port into the iPad 3 or the iPhone 4G/5, which seems unlikely, it looks like we'll have to wait until at least the end of 2012 or sometime in early 2013 before tablets and smartphones are at least able to offer a mobile version of USB 3.0 connectivity.

With the launch of the 2012 iPhone 5 still at least six to nine months away, all of the attention is on the unjailbreakable iPhone 4S and iPad 2, but as of very late 2011, the iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch with A4 processors can finally be jailbroken.

The revelation that Apple developed an iPhone 5 with a 4-inch screen but was forced to scrap the model because the late Steve Jobs hated it could portend a troubled future for the company.

Well-known task management app "Remember the Milk" is first to claim the Siri interaction crown, well before Apple announces any official way for third-party apps to take part in the Siri conversation, but might a sometimes easily bruised Apple have Siri sic lawyers onto the situation?

Apple's new CEO Tim Cook had the unenviable task of disappointing the market by failing to deliver the iPhone 5 today, with a resulting sharp drop in the company's shares. However, the new iPhone 4S is a significant improvement and there were plenty of other exciting announcements, including a new voice controlled virtual personal assistant called SIRI.

It's looking increasingly likely that Apple's iPhone event scheduled for this Tuesday (US time) will be to announce the iPhone 4S. But what of the iPhone 5?

The rumour has been confirmed: the iPhone launch is set for October 4.

The longer than usual wait for the next iPhone might be coming to an end. October 4 is being tipped as the day the iPhone 5 will finally be announced.

iPhone 5 rumours are still raging, with yet more surprises sure to still come right up until the iPhone 5's release is finally official, so it's no surprise to see October 4 touted as the day the iPhone 5 comes alive.

Apple's iPhone 4 was lost and found in a bar, and now comes a report that the iPhone 5 was lost in a bar in July too - making us wonder whether Apple should bar its employees from taking ever taking unreleased iPhones to bars - or anywhere else they might so very easily be lost.

A pic of what appears to be an odd-looking iPhone with volume, mute and front-facing camera on the wrong side, along with a warped-looking screen and rounder edges'¦ faaaake?

With the world and his dog impatiently waiting for Android tablet makers to realise that pricing Android tablets at the same price as an iPad 2 is no way to win friends and influence non-iPad buyers, Apple is reportedly getting ready to strike back with cheaper pricing of its own.

Not long after the latest round of 'iPhone 5 coming September' rumours rolled around has come 9to5Mac with a typically slightly fuzzy pic of what's claimed to be the iPhone 5.

Whether it's the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 or the iPhone Something Else Altogether, the latest batch of swirling rumours still suggest that the month of September is the launch month to remember.

5 million have done more than just go ogle an Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S II - they've bought one, putting a smile on Samsung's dial while likely riling lawsuit-happy Apple even further.

August or September, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5'¦ bigger screen, faster processor, more storage, iPad 3, MacBook Air, 3G iPod Touch'¦ all sound good, but how much of it is real?

Although there was no mention whatsoever of improved or expanded voice commands or voice dictation in yesterday's iOS 5 launch, the word is that it's coming - as has a jailbreak of iOS 5 already!
